Volunteering At The Shieling Project
There are lots of ways to volunteer at the Shieling Project. You can come during our volunteer days held during the week every month, or you can come to a volunteer weekend. If you really like it you can come and live at the project and support the staff delivering our residentials and holidays.
The directors of the project are volunteers, as are our advisors. So if you feel like you have skills that could help us run the Shieling Project please get in touch.
“Thanks again for a lovely day, it was great to help you complete the building of something that you will hopefully use for years to come!” – 2017 volunteer.
For more information on volunteering follow us on our social media, or look at our Calendar and News pages.

Everyone was keen to get a bit of extra feed this evening - a great example of the range of colours of the Shetland breeds #munchmunch https://t.co/RonLR4AlNF
Spreading some of our well rotted manure before turning this field ready for some traditional cereal crops. We’ll be planting Emmer and some other wheat varieties soon and Bere barley in the spring #traditionalcrops #landracecereals https://t.co/u7PtGWXg3C
Have a look at the extraordinary wool on our six month old lambs. This ‘katmoget’ colouring gives a dark belly and light top to the sheep, but the wool itself is dark grey changing to an off white at the top... The lovely tight wave is called crimp! #shetlandwool #naturalfibre https://t.co/4noRSPJv4k
